Pictures of tributes from the scene of a fatal collision in Bell Green

One of the messages read: “In loving memory of Sophia.

“Rest in peace, our deepest condolences, from all the staff at Aldi Bell Green.”

It is suspected that the girl ran out into the road and that the collision is being treated as a “tragic accident”.

A doctor from a nearby surgery came running out to try to save the child, but nothing could be done to save her.

The lorry driver and the girl’s mother were taken to hospital for treatment to shock.

The spokesman said: “A GP from the practice over the road arrived just before the ambulance did but sadly both he and the crew quickly realised that nothing could be done to save the child and she was confirmed dead at the scene.
